An Introduction to the Mathematical Requirements of T Level Science : Teaching proportion RX059
Develop the idea of proportional reasoning; what it is, where it appears within science and the methods students can use to deepen their own understanding.
Summary
Are you looking to develop your students' mathematical competencies in T Level* Science? This course, part of a suite designed to support the teaching of the general mathematics competences in the T-Level science specifications, develops general mathematics competencies.
You will develop an understanding of what is meant by the term ‘proportion’. We will explore methods to develop proportional reasoning skills by looking at the use of proportion tables, formulae and graphical representations. You will look at how to apply the different representations in a variety of science contexts.
This suite of short professional development courses been have developed provide an introduction to the general mathematical competencies which are embedded throughout the T level qualifications. Each course will develop pedagogy, mathematical subject knowledge and highlight resources suitable for classroom use. The other three courses in this suite are:
RX058 An introduction to teaching the general mathematics competencies of T-level science (2 hours)
RX060 Mathematical competencies of T-level science : Teaching probability and statistics (2 hours)
RX061 Mathematical competencies of T-level science : Applying mathematical skills (2 hours)
If you'd like to book to attend the full suite of courses, please see RX066 An introduction to the mathematical requirements of T Level Science
Outcomes
By attending this session you will:
- develop a secure understanding of what is meant by the term ‘proportion’
- use tables, formulae and graphs to represent variables which are proportional
- apply a range of techniques to solve problems in a science context.
